Weather in March
As
Tuvalu moves into
March, the country starts transitioning away from the peak monsoon season, resulting in a noticeable decrease in rainfall. The average precipitation for this month reduces to 275mm (10.83"), representing a significant reduction compared to
February. Consequently, the weather becomes slightly drier, although periodic showers can still occur, given the country's tropical rainforest climate.
In terms of temperatures, March maintains the consistency observed in the previous months. The average temperature throughout the month fluctuates from 28°C (82.4°F) to 31°C (87.8°F). This minor reduction compared to February might make the weather slightly more comfortable for visitors. These temperature trends are experienced uniformly across the islands, including major locations such as Funafuti.
Looking ahead to the subsequent month,
April, Tuvalu continues on the trajectory of decreasing rainfall as it further moves away from the monsoon season. This makes March a transitional month, where the weather begins to shift from the highly wet conditions of the monsoon months to the relatively drier conditions of the subsequent period. Visitors during this month can expect a mix of occasional showers and warm temperatures.
